Can a Visual Cron variable to used within the SQL Text Query of a SQL task? What I'm trying to do is pull all data changes since last execution date of the Visual Cron job.

Thanks!

Sorry for the late response. Yes, you can use Variables in every field in VisualCron - including the SQL text field.

I am trying to do something like this in SQL Task > Text and it fails. What am I doing wrong here?

declare @sql nvarchar(800)
declare @filePath varchar(255) = {TASK(166aee37-f000-4426-ae2a-89187105ded7|StdOut)}
SELECT @filePath



{TASK(166aee37-f000-4426-ae2a-89187105ded7|StdOut)} is the output of a previous task in the same job.
{TASK(166aee37-f000-4426-ae2a-89187105ded7|StdOut)} value = '\\sqlServerShare\c$\FilesForBulkLoad\filename.csv'

This is the error I receive:
Error in SQL query: ERROR [42000] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near '\'.

Ideas?

Put your task variable inside of quotes and remove them from the variable itself?

declare @filePath varchar(255) = '{TASK(166aee37-f000-4426-ae2a-89187105ded7|StdOut)}'
